I’m so excited to finally get to share this with the world at large, but I’m happy to present Subspace Commlink, an LCARS-inspired Bluesky interface, available for anyone to use at https://bsky.starfleet.live ! I’ll take a few posts here to introduce you to some of the features.

After Georgia Dems flipped the House and Governor’s mansion, Senate Dems held a press conference on Wednesday and were asked: “how are Democrats planning to work with Republicans?” I responded, you’re asking the wrong question. The question now is: how are Republicans planning to work with us?

Kalshi et al. need to be destroyed, but the troll in me is waiting for them to open books on whether various cabinet members will resign and head for a non-extradition country or be impeached first, along with whether all those who said "if dems win, a lot of us are going to jail" actually do.

EL-SAYED: And to all the parents who struggled to explain to their kids why the president openly mocks someone for their name or how they pray, let them know tomorrow that the bad guys lost.

Pondering over coffee: the time change sucks because it's sudden like jet lag, & it exacerbates the underlying divergence between a natural sunrise to sunset active period & our typical schedules here in the electric future.

We got up early and went to the Portland Japanese Garden to catch the end of peak season colors. This is famously “the tree” and it’s showing off a rainbow of color right now. What a treat.

A Japanese maple in glorious fall color that blends from crimson through sherbet orange to gold behind the twisting limbs. At the base, ferns and moss and rocks provide the greens and almost hint at indigo as if the entire image is washed in a rainbow gradient from top to bottom.

The LEGO Enterprise-D was a Christmas present. Building it took me a while because it was great fun! Just finished adding this light kit. My original plan was to display it on the nerd shelves in my office alongside this stuff, but the shelves aren't deep enough, so it's not permanently "docked" yet

The one thing I've taken from the reaction of deaths of Dolly Parton and Patrick Stewart is how much love there is towards people who represent goodness, and how much meaning they bring to people's lives, shaping the idea of the world they want to live in, giving them ideals to strive for.

so many things are meaningful at this moment, but Patrick Stewart not just being open about growing up in an abusive environment, THEN spending decades giving us a vision of masculinity that was joyful, curious, energetic, thoughtful and decisive without being toxic... really a big deal, honestly 💚

There was something about him that was unabashedly joyful in a way that is hard to explain. He so plainly loved life, loved people and loved telling stories. I keep thinking of that clip of him dancing and singing that alphabet song on the bridge of the Enterprise.

Patrick Stewart's passing feels a whole hell of a lot like Dolly's. It's hard to imagine that singular talents found in people born in the working class or working poor will get fostered the ways theirs were. The things that nurtured those talents have been stripped for profit by assholes.

A weird parallel I think of is that Picard was sort of my Mr Rogers. I grew up watching Star Trek and as a kid it was like here’s how to be as a grownup, you should be thoughtful and compassionate and always remember the good and evil that you can put into the world.
